THE GREAT PRETENDER: From the Extremist---

"The U.S. Constitution requires that the president be a native born citizen. President elect Obama is almost certainly not a native born U.S. citizen. I base this conclusion on the fact that he has chosen to leave the matter in doubt despite how easily he could prove it if it were true.

"His opponent, Senator McCain, had a similar problem, having been born in the Panama Canal zone. But when McCain was confronted by opponents on the issue, he immediately dug up all the records and presented them to whomever was interested. As a result, Congress agreed that as the child of military parents stationed abroad in an American controlled zone, they’d consider him a native born citizen. The passed some kind of resolution saying so..."
